A Honus Wagner baseball card has been auctioned for more than $2.1 million.

The T206 card, originally released in 1909 by the American Tobacco Co., went for $2,105,770.50 in an online sale, Goldin Auctions said Saturday.

While the company said the price was a record for a baseball card sold at auction, a similar Wagner card in mint condition was purchased for $2.8 million in a private sale in 2007.

Fewer than 200 Wagner cards were ever issued. Production of the card was halted after Wagner, the Pittsburgh Pirates star shortstop, requested the tobacco company stop including his image in the cigarette packs. As a result, there have been fewer than 50 authentic Wagner cards submitted for authentication and/or grading.
